WILD NORTHUMBRIAN WEBSITE LAUNCH

Tuesday 24 January 2012

We are incredibly happy to announce that our latest project, the new Wild Northumbrian website is now live.

Wild Northumbrian is a new and unique experience based in the heart of Tarset, and is supported by Northumberland National Park. A holiday or short break in a Native American Tipi or Mongolian Yurt, makes Wild Northumbrian a place of luxury, tranquility and connection to the landscape and wildlife.

www.wildnorthumbrian.co.uk has been designed to reflect the experience that Wild Northumbrian provides, and as such is led by strong breathtaking visuals, and is laid out to provide a wealth of supporting details, clearly and in an appealing way. The site is feature packed with several image carousels, a shopping basket, an availability calendar, a courses calendar, social media integration and a blog. Wild Northumbrian understand the need to engage with their audience, and over the past couple of months have taken to Twitter with aplomb, posting frequently and in doing so generating a large following who are really listening to their message, even before the gates to their Tipi & Yurt site have opened.
In addition to the site, we have also produced an accompanying promotional flyer for Wild Northumbrian, which is available now and is soon to be part of a mass distribution campaign.

We wish Wild Northumbrian every success in this new venture, and we hope that the site and flyer will play a role in helping them to achieve this.

Tools to measure your social media activities: #1 Klout

Tuesday 13 September 2011
Social networking to promote your online presence can at times feel like a thankless task. If you're using Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or any other of the social networking platforms, its important to understand that ploughing endless hours into updates does not necessarily guarantee you a return on your time. However, there are a number of free online tools that can help you measure the success and reach of your social media, and in turn assist you to deliver the right message, at the right time and to the right audience.

Here at Tarset Epic Design we're going to review these tools for you, we start with Klout:

Described as the standard for influence Klout connects your Twitter, Facebook and Google+ accounts and provides you with an aggregated profile of all of your accounts. Easy to read charts and statistics plotted daily illustrate your network influence, amplification probability and importantly your true reach. It even goes further and details individuals that you influence and particular topics that you are influential about. All of which allows you to monitor your social activities on a daily basis, which you can then respond to should you need to. For those looking for more detailed analysis this may not be the tool for you, but for most of you it certainly serves as a quickly accessible tool to get you started. Klout have also recently included many other networks that you can connect including: LinkedIn, Foursquare, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, Blogger, Last.fm and Flickr.
